NORTHEASTERN PENNSYLVANIA PHILHARMONIC ANNOUNCES 53^rd SEASON

Under the baton of Maestra Brunet, the NEPA Philharmonic 2024-25 season will feature audience favorites, new works. Performances will be at multiple venues in Luzerne and Lackawanna Counties.

The Northeastern Pennsylvania Philharmonic will launch its 53^rd season, “Building Bridges,” on Friday, September 27, 2024, at the F.M. Kirby Center, at 7:30 PM with the iconic music of QUEEN performed in collaboration with Jeans & Classics, and the Marywood University Chamber Singers under the direction of Dr. Rick Hoffenberg.

The Philharmonic’s dynamic season will include mainstage and chamber concerts. Featured are many audience favorites including a tribute to Tina Turner, Bizet’s Carmen Suites with Ballet Theatre of Scranton, Sibelius’s fifth Symphony, Copland’s Clarinet Concerto featuring Pascal Archer, Tchaikovsky’s Serenade for Strings, and Carl Orff’s Carmina Burana with a symphonic chorus. We continue the tradition of Holiday Pops concerts featuring seasonal music in collaboration with Ballet Theatre of Scranton, Choral Society of NEPA, Marywood Concert Choir and Wyoming Valley Concert Choir.

The entire Pops Series is sponsored by PNC Foundation and Dr. Seth and Carolyn Fisher, the Masterworks Series is sponsored by the Thalenfeld Family Foundation, and the Chamber Concert Series is sponsored by the Stoppini Foundation.

The Philharmonic’s theme “Building Bridges” reinforces the orchestra’s community wide partnerships, which include the Sordoni Art Gallery, the Black Scranton Art Project, the Pennsylvania Music Educators Association, regional senior centers, regional schools, and public libraries. Its outreach programs, designed for toddlers through seniors enrich the lives of countless people of NEPA.
